Jalen Johnson Ruled Out Thursday with Left Hip Flexor Irritation

Atlanta Hawks All-Star forward Jalen Johnson has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to left hip flexor irritation. He exited Tuesday's game with the same injury and is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. In his absence, Mouhamed Gueye and Corey Kispert are expected to see an uptick in playing time, with Jonathan Kuminga also in line for more ball-handling duties.
